Package fixes in render-helper and sdk, one or more commits per issue. Needs the patch:render-helper and patch:sdk labels so the bot rebuilds and publishes dist; web and self-hosted pick the changes up from the rebuilt dist.

YouTube Shorts render 9:16 (#1271)

YouTube Shorts are vertical but embed at the same /embed/<id> URL as a landscape video, so every Short played pillarboxed in a 16:9 box. The only orientation signal is the /shorts/ path the author posted, which was dropped during rendering.

  • render-helper: YouTube links and bare-text URLs whose matched URL is youtube.com/shorts/ get an extra markdown-video-link-youtube-portrait class, in both click-to-play and embedVideosDirectly mode.
  • A pasted /shorts/<id> iframe was always blank: YouTube serves the shorts page with X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN. It is now pointed at /embed/<id> (id validated) and marked portrait-embed, the class Truvvl's 9:16 embeds already use.
  • Pasted iframes from youtube.com and m.youtube.com (embed or shorts) are now accepted and pinned to www.youtube.com; previously they were dropped as unsupported. Lookalike hosts, userinfo, ports and backslash forms are still dropped.
  • web (ecency-renderer.scss) and self-hosted (blog-markdown.css): the portrait modifier is sized 9:16 with a 360px max width, matching the existing portrait embeds; the click-to-play thumbnail is cropped to the frame.
  • web: the direct-embed YouTube iframe (.youtube-player, used by waves) is excluded from the global fixed-size iframe rule, which shrank it inside its box (a Short rendered as a 360x360 player atop a tall black box; landscape overflowed by 22px).
  • Checked in headless Chromium against the compiled stylesheets: Shorts render 360x640 on waves, entry page (before and after click) and pasted iframes; landscape, plain pasted iframes, 3Speak and Truvvl are unchanged.
  • Shorts shared as watch?v= or youtu.be/ carry no hint and stay 16:9.

Closes #1271

Render-helper memo keyed on the body (#1872)

The entry memo (markdown2Html, catchPostImage, getPostBodySummary) keyed on author, permlink, last_update and updated. A takedown replaces the body without touching last_update, so an entry rendered before the lists were in force kept serving its original HTML, cover and summary. Self-hosted blogs hit this directly: the lists load in the background and the refetched, filtered posts got the old covers back from the memo.

  • The key now also carries the body length and an FNV-1a hash of the body, hashed once per entry object (a body replaced in place is hashed again).
  • A hit is verified against the exact inputs it was built from (the body, and for catchPostImage the image / thumbnails metadata it reads), so neither a crafted hash collision with the takedown notice nor a metadata-only takedown can return pre-takedown output.
  • Cost: roughly one hash per entry per render, ~15us for a 5KB body; ranked feeds pass slimmed (empty) bodies, so the cost there is negligible.
  • Note: this closes the in-process memo only. Cached HTML at the origin and edge still follows the page's cache tier; that is A takedown has no cache purge, so removal can take up to 90 days at the edge #1869.

Closes #1872

Taken-down posts masked in search (#1871)

The search index is not DMCA-aware (the search API filters nsfw only and the API proxy passes rows through), so the fix is client side.

  • Every /search-api call that returns post rows (search, similar, searchQueryOptions, getSearchApiInfiniteQueryOptions, getControversialRisingInfiniteQueryOptions) parses through one helper that masks listed rows, matching exact @author/permlink like filterDmcaEntry.
  • Rows are masked, not dropped, so hit counts and the scroll cursor stay consistent: title, highlighted title, body, highlighted body and img_url are blanked, and the body becomes the same notice the entry page shows. The related-posts strip skips listed posts instead.
  • Self-hosted resets cached search results once the takedown lists load, as it already did for posts, so a search that resolved first is not left unmasked.

Closes #1871

Test plan

  • render-helper 1394 tests + tsc, sdk 1046 tests + tsc, self-hosted dmca + styles tests, web post-renderer specs + tsc all pass on the combined branch
  • Each guard mutation-checked; each issue had an adversarial review, and each fix round was re-reviewed
  • After the label rebuild, on staging: a post with a youtube.com/shorts/ link renders 9:16 on the entry page and on waves; a pasted Shorts iframe plays
  • After the rebuild: a listed post shows no title, excerpt or image on /search

A Short embeds at the same /embed/<id> URL as a landscape video, so the
/shorts/ path of the posted link is the only orientation signal. Tag the
YouTube wrapper with markdown-video-link-youtube-portrait (link and bare
text paths, click-to-play and embedVideosDirectly) and mark a pasted
/shorts/ iframe portrait-embed. Size the modifier 9:16 at 360px max on
web and self-hosted, matching the existing portrait embeds.

Closes #1271
…ts playable

The embedVideosDirectly iframe (.youtube-player) was caught by the global
iframe rules in _markdown.scss and ecency-renderer.scss, which outrank
the wrapper's fill rule, so a Short rendered as a small player at the top
of its 9:16 box on waves (and landscape embeds overflowed). Exclude it.

A pasted youtube.com/shorts/<id> iframe is refused by X-Frame-Options;
point it at /embed/<id> when the id is a valid video id. Crop the 4:3
click-to-play thumbnail to the portrait frame.
The search index is not DMCA-aware, so /search, community and profile
search, decks search columns, controversial/rising and the related-posts
strip could serve a listed post's title, excerpt and image. Every
/search-api response that carries post rows now goes through one parser
that masks listed rows (exact @author/permlink match, same test as
filterDmcaEntry and the curation mask). The related-posts strip skips
them instead of showing a blank card.

Fix Shorts rendering, body-aware memos, and search masking

🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 🕐 40+ Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Render YouTube Shorts as playable 9:16 embeds across web and self-hosted surfaces.
• Key render memos by body content to prevent stale pre-takedown output.
• Mask taken-down search results and invalidate cached searches after DMCA lists load.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Filter takedowns in the search backend
  • ➕ Prevents restricted content from reaching any client
  • ➕ Centralizes enforcement for all search consumers
  • ➕ Avoids dependence on client list-loading timing
  • ➖ Requires search service or index changes outside this PR
  • ➖ Must preserve hit counts and cursor semantics server-side
  • ➖ Still requires cache invalidation when takedown state changes
2. Key memos by DMCA-list generation
  • ➕ Avoids hashing every non-empty post body
  • ➕ Invalidates all render memos when takedown lists change
  • ➖ Couples generic renderer caching to application-specific DMCA state
  • ➖ Misses other cases where an entry body changes without timestamps
  • ➖ Invalidates unrelated entries and reduces cache effectiveness

Recommendation: The PR’s centralized search parser mask and body-aware memo key are the best bounded fixes for the current architecture. Body hashing handles any same-metadata content replacement, while masking rather than dropping preserves search pagination; backend filtering remains a worthwhile defense-in-depth follow-up.

P2 Badge Include censored metadata in the entry cache key

When the original post body already equals DMCA_NOTICE_BODY, filtering changes json_metadata to {} without changing this body-only key. If catchPostImage cached an author-supplied metadata thumbnail before the DMCA lists loaded, the filtered entry therefore hits that same cache entry and continues serving the taken-down cover. Include the metadata fields that filtering clears, or an explicit censored-state discriminator, in the cache key.

Fixed in ca182d7: catchPostImage now verifies a fingerprint of the metadata fields it reads (thumbnails, image, parsed the same way getImage parses them) along with the body. So a body that already equals the notice, with only json_metadata cleared, no longer returns the old cover. Specced for both the image and the thumbnails case.

1. Search still exposes takedown details 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security
Description
maskDmcaSearchResult spreads each listed row and blanks only title, body, and image fields,
leaving author, category, app, and tags intact. Web search renders the first three and
self-hosted cards render the tags, so identifying metadata remains visible on both search surfaces.

Rule 3246788 explicitly prohibits exposing tags or equivalent identifying metadata for taken-down
search results. The new spread preserves those fields, and both application search renderers visibly
consume them.

2. Three new specs sit beside source 📜 Skill insight ⌂ Architecture

3. Crafted posts can bypass takedowns ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
hashBody reduces each user-controlled body to its length and a non-cryptographic 32-bit digest, so
distinct equal-length bodies can produce the same makeEntryCacheKey. If an author prepares an
original body that collides with the fixed takedown notice and that entry was rendered before
masking, markdown2Html, catchPostImage, and getPostBodySummary read the original cached
content after the body is replaced.
Code

packages/render-helper/src/helper.ts[R252-255]

+    h ^= s.charCodeAt(i)
+    h = Math.imul(h, 0x01000193)
+  }
+  return `${s.length}.${(h >>> 0).toString(36)}`
Evidence
The helper explicitly labels the digest non-cryptographic and retains only the body length plus a
32-bit hash before placing it in the shared entry key. All three affected render paths use that key
for cache lookup, while the takedown filter preserves the entry metadata and replaces its body, so a
collision causes the replacement body to reuse the original body's cached output.

## Issue description
The cache key uses body length plus a non-cryptographic 32-bit FNV-1a digest. User-controlled equal-length bodies can be constructed with the same digest, allowing cached pre-takedown HTML, images, and summaries to be returned for the replacement notice.
## Fix Focus Areas

## Recommended Fix
Replace the 32-bit digest with a collision-resistant body discriminator supported synchronously by every render-helper runtime, or include the complete body in the internal cache key. Add a regression test using two distinct equal-length bodies that collide under the current FNV-1a implementation and verify that their entry cache keys differ.

4. Some pasted Shorts remain blank ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
iframe() only enters its new Shorts rewrite branch when YOUTUBE_EMBED_REGEX matches, but that
expression accepts only www.youtube.com URLs. A pasted https://youtube.com/shorts/ iframe
therefore retains its non-embed path and the final sanitizer removes its src, even though
youtube.com itself is an allowed embed host.
Code

packages/render-helper/src/methods/iframe.method.ts[R16-17]

+  const ytMatch = src.match(YOUTUBE_EMBED_REGEX);
+  if (ytMatch) {
Evidence
The newly added branch is gated by YOUTUBE_EMBED_REGEX; that regex requires //www.youtube.com/,
so a bare-host Shorts URL cannot reach the rewrite. The sanitizer explicitly permits youtube.com
as a host but requires its path to begin /embed/, so its untouched /shorts/ source is removed in
the final sanitization pass.

5. Search cache clearing can drift 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability
Description
loadDmcaLists passes the literal ['search'] to resetQueries instead of obtaining the prefix
from the SDK's QueryKeys. When takedown lists arrive, this duplicates the search-key contract
outside its shared registry, so a later prefix change can leave stale unmasked results untouched.
Code

apps/self-hosted/src/core/dmca.ts[96]

+      queryClient.resetQueries({ queryKey: ['search'] });
Evidence
Rule 2667922 forbids literal React Query keys. The changed cache-reset call uses ['search']
directly even though search keys are centralized under QueryKeys.search.

6. New helpers bypass explicit typing 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability
Description
entryBodyHash introduces an any parameter, while Harness, response, expectMasked, and
expectPage omit explicit return annotations. These helpers cover cache-key and takedown
regressions, so later signature changes receive weaker compiler checks in both production and test
paths.
Code

Replace the cache helper's `any` parameter with a minimal typed entry shape, and annotate the React harness, response factory, and assertion helpers with their concrete return types.

7. A new style test uses wrong suffix 📜 Skill insight ⚙ Maintainability
Description
youtube-shorts-portrait.test.ts uses the .test.ts suffix instead of the required .spec.ts
suffix for a non-React utility suite. The mismatch is introduced by this new self-hosted stylesheet
test and leaves its filename outside the repository's prescribed discovery convention.
Code

apps/self-hosted/src/styles/youtube-shorts-portrait.test.ts[1]

+import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
Evidence
Rule 2668286 requires non-React tests to use the .spec.ts suffix. The newly added file is named
with .test.ts.

8. Portrait tests can miss broken layouts 📘 Rule violation ▣ Testability
Description
youtube-shorts-portrait.spec.tsx reads SCSS as text and asserts declarations and class names
rather than rendering a player and checking its visible computed dimensions, and the self-hosted
counterpart uses the same approach. A selector that is overridden, omitted from the built
stylesheet, or fails to match generated markup can therefore leave Shorts landscape while both
suites pass.
Code

apps/web/src/specs/features/post-renderer/youtube-shorts-portrait.spec.tsx[R37-40]

+    const match = scss.match(
+      /\.markdown-video-link-youtube\.markdown-video-link-youtube-portrait\s*\{([^}]*)\}/
+    );
+    expect(match).not.toBeNull();
Evidence
Rule 2667994 requires UI tests to verify rendered or otherwise user-visible behavior rather than
implementation details. The cited suites inspect raw stylesheet text and classes, which does not
prove that the final rendered frame is portrait.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new portrait-layout tests inspect stylesheet source and class names without verifying the user-visible dimensions produced by the built application styles.

- apps/self-hosted/src/styles/youtube-shorts-portrait.test.ts[20-35]
## Recommended Fix
Add browser-level tests that load each compiled stylesheet, render the generated Shorts link and pasted iframe markup, and assert 9:16 computed dimensions while confirming ordinary YouTube videos remain 16:9.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds DMCA masking to search responses and body-sensitive render cache keys, and resets search queries when DMCA lists load. It also identifies YouTube Shorts as portrait embeds, rewrites valid Shorts iframe URLs, and adds portrait sizing rules to web and self-hosted renderers.

Changes

DMCA content masking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mask DMCA-listed search results
packages/sdk/src/modules/posts/utils/filter-dmca-entries.ts, packages/sdk/src/modules/search/*
The search response parser masks listed posts’ title, highlighted title, body, highlighted body, and image URL. Similar-entry results exclude listed posts. Tests cover masking and response metadata.
Key render caches by entry body
packages/render-helper/src/helper.ts, packages/render-helper/src/helper.spec.ts, packages/render-helper/src/entry-cache-body.spec.ts
Render cache keys now include a memoized hash of the entry body. Tests verify different bodies use different keys and filtered entries produce filtered render output.
Reset search queries after DMCA lists load
apps/self-hosted/src/core/dmca.ts, apps/self-hosted/src/core/dmca.test.ts
When lists contain entries and a query client is available, loading the lists resets the search query as well as the posts query.

YouTube Shorts portrait rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identify and normalize Shorts embeds
packages/render-helper/src/helper.ts, packages/render-helper/src/methods/*, packages/render-helper/src/markdown-2-html.spec.ts, packages/render-helper/src/methods/*.spec.ts
Shorts links receive a portrait modifier. Valid Shorts iframe URLs are rewritten to the /embed/ route and receive the portrait-embed class. Tests cover click-to-play, direct embeds, and regular YouTube URLs.
Size portrait embeds in both renderers
apps/self-hosted/src/styles/blog-markdown.css, apps/self-hosted/src/styles/youtube-shorts-portrait.test.ts, apps/web/src/features/post-renderer/ecency-renderer.scss, apps/web/src/styles/_markdown.scss, apps/web/src/specs/features/post-renderer/youtube-shorts-portrait.spec.tsx
Both renderers apply portrait sizing with a 9:16 ratio and 360px maximum width. Web styles crop thumbnails and exclude direct YouTube players from standalone iframe sizing rules.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 46dc5

A listed post can retain previously rendered content in a narrow collision case, and Shorts can lose portrait sizing in mini-markdown views. Resolve the cache-key risk before merging and correct the mini-markdown rule.

I’m a rabbit with a render to review,
Shorts stand tall in a frame of blue.
Search hides the notice-listed trace,
Fresh body hashes keep caches in place.
I twitch my nose, then hop away.
“Nine by sixteen!” I cheer today.

- Around line 474-478: Add a more specific `.markdown-view.mini-markdown`
portrait rule for `.markdown-video-link-youtube-portrait` so it overrides the
later `.markdown-video-link` sizing, preserving `padding-bottom: 0` and `height:
auto` for Shorts in mini-markdown views.

In `@packages/render-helper/src/helper.ts`:
- Line 255: Replace the 32-bit FNV-1a digest in hashBody with a
collision-resistant digest so distinct entry bodies cannot reuse cache keys.
Preserve the existing handling of non-string bodies, and use the project’s
available cryptographic hashing utility.

YOUTUBE_EMBED_REGEX only accepted www.youtube.com, so a pasted
youtube.com or m.youtube.com iframe (embed or shorts) was dropped as
unsupported and a Short on those hosts skipped the /embed/ rewrite.
Accept both hosts and pin the src to www.youtube.com, the host the
renderer emits everywhere else.
